Beaming for the cameras after their £45.5 million lottery win, Les Scadding
and his wife Samantha Peachey-Scadding said one of the first things that
they planned to spend the money on was a repeat of their honeymoon trip to
Barbados.

However, four years after their huge Euromillions windfall in November 2009,
they have apparently become the latest big winners to separate in what is
being described as the “lottery curse”.

News of their divorce comes weeks after it emerged that two other couples had
split up following multimillion jackpot wins.
